Did your personality spectrum profile surprise you? Why or why not? After reviewing the results of my personality spectrum I was a little surprised, I would have thought I was more of a Thinker than an Organizer, but after reading over the descriptions I do see how it came up with being organized, especially when it comes to school and work I would say that I am very organized. I have to stay organized in school and work so that I can stay focused and on task. The Giver was actually my next highest personality and I can totally relate to that, I do not know if it is because I am a mother that I have become such a giving person, I am sure it has something to do with it.

How can you alter your study techniques to take advantage of your particular abilities and skills as determined by the personality spectrum? I plan to continue to stay organized and perhaps get even more organized. With staying organized I can help my mind see a detailed set of objectives for my day not only with school but also with work and my other daily activities. Making charts or checklists is going to be a weekly project for me and my activities. I feel by doing this it will help me to eliminate stress and make sure I complete my tasks completely, when I do not stay structured I notice that I make careless mistakes and forget to complete some parts of either my assignments at school or at work.

How can knowing your skills and abilities indicated on the personality spectrum help you adapt your study habits? Knowing that I am an individual that can get more accomplished by being organized will help me to know going into either an assignment for school or work that I need to set some type of structure right away. Once I have organized what it is that I need to accomplish I feel like I will have better success in completing it. Being a Giver is also a good personality trait to have especially when it comes to dealing with people. Being honest is another key element when it comes to school...

...LearningStyles and Academic Performance/Grade Achievement
A number of studies have been designed in order to assess the relationship between
learningstyles of students and their academic performance. Different measures have been
used in different studies. Some have used specialized tests related to the particular field,
while some have used Multiple Choice Theory (MCT), Multiple Choice Quantitative, Open
Ended Theory (OET), and Open Ended Quantitative, etc.
A study was conducted by Lynch, Woelfl, Steele, and Hanssen in order to find out the
relationship between learningstyle and three academic measures in a third year surgery
clerkship in a medical school. These academic performance measures examined on two
cohorts of 3rd year medicals students, the first two measures are based on a single-best
answer, multiple choice question format, the United States Medical Licensing Examination
step 1(USMLE 1), and the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME), whereas
computer-based case simulations (CBX) is a computer simulation that is used to measure
clinical management skill. Kolb’s learningstyle inventory was administered to find out
learningstyle of the learners. The total participants of the study were 227. out of these 227 it
was found that 102(45 percent) were convergers, 59 (26 percent) were assimilator, 48(21...

...LearningStyles
Since the 1960s, efforts to improve the academic performance of students in the United States have included a focus on the role of ethnicity in evaluating the educational success of American children. As the country becomes increasingly more diverse, what has been the mainstream/majority approach to education will change out of sheer numbers and necessity, as the very meaning of the terms mainstream and majority are transformed. As educators began to realize that the growing diversity of the country would eventually mean that the dominant white culture would itself become a minority, perhaps by as soon as the generation after the next, the conclusions of studies comparing the academic performance of various ethnic groups with one another would create all manner of controversy and conflict, as various interests competed to define the strategies and course of action to be undertaken to improve the American educational system.
In determining some of these strategies, certain ethnic groups were assigned the label “at risk,” as the evidence used to measure their educational success showed that they lagged behind other ethnic groups in terms of measurements of their cognitive and intellectual abilities, with the various explanations as to why these deficits existed generating the most intense conflict and disagreement. The most insidious explanations came from social scientists who proposed that the condition of these at-risk...

...KOLB’S LEARNINGSTYLES Reference: Peter Honey and Alan Mumford, 2006
LEARNINGSTYLES
Kolb's learningstyles have been adapted by two management development specialists, Peter Honey and Alan Mumford. They use a four-way classification that closely resembles that of Kolb but is simplified for use in a practical training situation. You can find out your own learningstyle by completing and scoring the following questionnaire. A description of the Honey and Mumford classification follows for use after the questionnaire has been scored. LEARNINGSTYLES QUESTIONNAIRE This questionnaire is designed to find out your preferred learningstyle(s). Over the years you have probably developed learning 'habits' that help you benefit more from some experiences than from others. Since you are probably unaware of this, this questionnaire will help you pinpoint your learning preferences so that you are in a better position to select learning experiences that suit your style. INSTRUCTIONS There is no time limit for completing this questionnaire. It will probably take you 10-15 minutes. The accuracy of the results depends on how honest you can be. There are no right or wrong answers. If you agree more than you disagree with a statement put a tick by it. If you disagree...

...Overview of LearningStyles
After debating more of what my paper should be about I decided to look into how it might be important. Then I recalled taking these test to see what types of learners we were freshman year. After a bit of research I discovered what the different types of learning were in this article.
In total there are seven learningstyles. The focus for my research paper will probably be spatial (visual) learners. These are people who like to use pictures or images to learn. Spatial learners use “The occipital lobes at the back of the brain (which) manage the visual sense. Both the occipital and parietal lobes manage spatial orientation.”
The second type of learning listed was aural, people who connect through music or sounds. Here “The temporal lobes handle aural content. The right temporal lobe is especially important for music.”
Verbal (linguistic) learners prefer talking it out, speech, or writing. This utilizes the frontal and temporal lobes.
The kids who tend to be fidgeting in their seats all class are usually physical (kinesthetic) learners. “The cerebellum and the motor cortex (at the back of the frontal lobe) handle much of our physical movement.”
Students who are advanced in math tend to be logistical thinkers. They prefer using logic, reasoning and systems. Logistical minds utilize “The parietal lobes, especially the left side, (which) drive our...

...Individuals with Different LearningStyles and Personality Types:
Presenting Dynamic Tactics for
Cooperation and Communication in a Group
Melissa Milligan
LearningStyles
Another particular learningstyle is Logical-Mathematical. An individual with this learning type would be great at solving group problems. If group conflict where to occur the Logical-Mathematical would look at arguments where truth of conclusion would be guaranteed and follow up with reason’s supporting the truth. They are great at communicating connections and relationships and would be able to explain material sequentially for a group (Bishop, 2007, p. 4-5). A learner of this type would love to be designated to take on the task of creating charts and graphs for group assignments.
Last but not least, the third learningstyle I am going to discuss is Interpersonal. Cooperation, communication and working in a group environment is this learners finest qualities hence helping, understanding and cooperative learning is how they understand information best.
Communication is best made both verbally and non-verbally for them (Bishop, 2007, p.5). The Interpersonal is great at relating to others that is one ability that would be great to have them as a group member, not only that but they view perspectives from other’s opinions helping the group to...

THE TEACHER TRAINING CYCLE ROLLS AND RESPONSABILITYS IN EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Many People have different learningstyles which are influenced by personality type, educational specialization, career choice, and current job role and tasks Therefore, research IS essential, teachers should assess the learningstyles of their students and adapt their classroom methods to best fit each student's learningstyle.
Your role of organising and delivering training starts by identifying the learners’ needs. Before the course starts, You need to carry out an initial assessment of all learners, by direct contact or through their training manager / unit manager.
Planning
Your responsibilities are:
1. To ensure that once the syllabus is known, you prepare for the lesson and lesson plans generated
2. To ensure the course structure and timetable are developed

...﻿LEARNERS AND LEARNING ASSIGNMENT 4
INTRODUCTION
Students learning English as a foreign language are often confronted with the challenge of learning and using English effectively. Some students seem to cope with the difficulties of language learning with great success and neither little effort, while for others the task is neither an enjoyable nor a successful one. What is it that makes learning a new language so easy for some and so difficult for others? One reason is that “each student has his/her own preferred way of learning that is determined by his/her cultural and educational background and personality” (Shoebottom, 2007).
BRIEF LESSON OUTLINE
In this assignment I evaluated differences in learners’ responses and considered ways in which the quality of their learning could be improved. The lesson was aimed to help the students understand and use the 2nd Conditional in the context of life survival. I designed a lesson of an escape survival plan at school which consisted in following rules of a fire exit plan in every room. It’s the kind of thing you always see on your hotel door, with a plan of all the exits, staircases, elevators and rooms. I gave them a fun and language rich way to use these plans in a zombie-infested building right here at school, of course, containing plenty of grammar-juice in it. ✔

...Behavioral Styles
Improving Communications and Overall Effectiveness
Everyone has an observable and recognizable behavioral style. Each style and individual has special gifts. There is no right or wrong style, no better or worse combinations of styles in work or relationships. The purpose of the DISC Platinum Rule Behavioral Style Assessment is to determine how a person usually interacts with others in everyday situations. As a person better understands their own behavior patterns and those of others, communication will be more effective in ways that reduce interpersonal tension, create more harmony, and improve overall effectiveness in business and personal relationships. (Blanchard, 2004)
The behavioral substyles of the four team members in Project Team A are: Pioneer (Dc), Adventurer (Di), and two Impressers (Ic). There is an even split between the Dominance and Interactive style. This blend of contrasting behavioral styles results in a collaboration of strengths or a source of conflict. To understand this blending, we look at the definitions of each style according to the DISC Platinum Rule Assessment (Blanchard, 2004):
The Dominance Style (D Style): The Dominance Styles are forceful, take-charge people: direct, decisive, determined and often domineering. They're born leaders who are neither shy...
